Steam only works in Offline Mode

https://bbs.archlinux.org –
Hello,I got a problem with Steam installed from Arch Repositories - Steam runs fine but only in Offline Mode (indicated by "Offline Mode" on the bottom) if i try to run it in Online mode using the context menu, steam just restarts in Offline Mode again. This wouldn't be a problem if I could join Servers in i.e. CS:S. The shop works fine and no other bugs are present.Greetings

I know someone who fixed this by launching all of his games through "Big Picture" Mode. See if that works for you.EDIT: Also, Alt+Tab didn't work for him unless he Shift+Tab-ed first and then Alt+Tab-ed from the steam overlay.
